Natural collaborator. You work effectively with developers, BA’s, Product Managers, and customers to draft test plans and test cases from an established set of requirements. You are proficient with Agile and a collaborative cross functional approach to building awesome software. You are comfortable working with offshore teams and collaborating on best practices across multiple Agile teams. You constantly seek opinions and solicit feedback in an effort to create the best work possible. You don’t know any other way. It’s a team effort -- and you completely appreciate that.

Confident and deliberate communicator. You have a point of view and you’re completely comfortable defending it to any person or group, regardless of level or status. It’s a confidence that comes from experience. And that’s not to say you aren’t open to different views; but, when you feel strongly about a particular matter, you don’t give up easily. You’re at ease with lively debate -- in fact, you welcome it. Your points are clear and concise. And you’re equally as respected for your knowledge and expertise as for your style and approach.

Resourcefulness and application. At Aptos, we have a pioneering spirit -- when we have questions, we find answers; when we’re faced with challenges, we find solutions. We turn to a variety of resources, including our own colleagues, our professional network, the Internet, articles and books -- whatever helps us get the job done. But it’s not just about using a variety of resources to gain knowledge -- it’s also about applying that knowledge to other areas of the job or business where it might make sense.

Quality orientation. You rarely make mistakes because you have good processes in place to ensure that every last detail is correct. But in those rare occasions when errors are realized (let’s face it, it happens to the best of us from time to time), you own them, correct them, learn from them, and then quickly adjust and communicate processes to ensure the same mistake doesn’t happen twice. It’s your transparency, authenticity and humility is what sets you apart from the rest.

Stays cool when things get crazy. We’re growing fast -- which translates to an ever-changing, super fast-paced work environment. This may involve immediate changes to plans and timelines. Your ability to quickly analyze situations and effectively prioritize tasks is what sets you apart from the rest. Rest assured: you’ve got this.

Here’s what will give you an edge...

Related experience. Knowledge of the POS retail/e-commerce space is a plus, as is experience with testing on mobile devices (iOS and Android) and payment devices. Familiarity with Agile, ITIL, TC design frameworks is a great asset. Also, we would love to hear about any certifications you have earned or courses you have taken to further your knowledge in your career and the QA space.

Passion. We know it when we see it. Passion is not about saying how much you love what you do in your most excited voice. Passion is revealed in your truest self. It’s about what you’ve accomplished; how you want to grow; the ideas you have; your philosophies. It’s demonstrating through your words and your actions that you truly believe in what you do -- and where you work. That it matters to you. And that’s pretty cool.

Initiative. You don’t wait around for things to happen or for your manager to tell you what to do. You’re not only proactive about completing your own work, but when you sense the need to introduce an idea that will benefit the team or the organization -- even if it’s outside your scope of work -- you take it on and own it. That also goes back to having a pioneering spirit.
